Victoria’s fire services (Country Fire Authority and Fire Rescue Victoria) have developed materials to help Victorians understand the importance of having working smoke alarms in their home.
This includes information and tips for people to understand the advantages of having multiple and interconnected smoke alarms installed.
It’s recommended that interconnected smoke alarms be installed in all bedrooms and living areas and are:
· powered by a long-life lithium battery
· installed on the ceiling at least 30cm from the wall
· interconnected so that when any alarm activates, all smoke alarms will sound.
